Payne) was an American tropical physician and director for the International Health Board of the Rockefeller Foundation for Mexico[1] and Trinidad in the 1920s.[2] He also worked as a physician for the state health board in Virginia in 1923.[3] He investigated hookworm disease between 1921[4][5][6] and 1934,[7] and was known for studying the links between hookworm, tropical sprue and anemia in Trinidad,[2] as well as Puerto Rico at the School of Tropical Medicine, where he worked with William Bosworth Castle and Cornelius P. Rhoads.[8][9][10] In 1929 he published a study on effective footwear to reduce worm infestation.[11] He became involved in the Rhoads scandal of the 1930s.[12] He was the first to use a type of mosquito bait trap or stable trap in 1923 in the West Indies.[13] He also studied diet and nutrition in Mexico from 1944 to 1948.[14][15]
